[hobbit] reading rrd files for seperate customer "extranet"

[Mike Rowell]

Chris,

In a previous job I did this very thing.

The simplest solution I found was to run hobbit on a separate IP not
accessable to the general public, then on the customer extranet setup
the pages you need as a php script doing all the html and menus etc but
doing a readthru on the graphs you need.

I actually built the entire customer extranet around this solution and
it work very well, however you will need to make sure you obfuscate the
urls well enough so that the customers can see where the images are
originating.

Regards,

Mike Rowell

Subject: [hobbit] reading rrd files for seperate customer "extranet"

Hello,

Searching for the archives for this, I see some discussion on getting 
customer specific pages (Subject: "Alternate Pagesets"). Instead of 
this, I'm curious if anyone has written anything or any sample code to 
read directly from the RRD files to display in HTML.

I'm not too farmiliar with RRD, so that's why I'm asking here first. The

idea is to put graphs that have data from hobbit's RRD files to our 
customer login page. We'd keep track of what directory belongs to which 
customer via a seperate SQL database with a simple customer-> dir
mapping.

Anyone tried this? Or maybe even anyone know sample code to read RRD and

graph them, preferably with something PHP driven? Or even possibly what 
the particular structure of hobbit's RRD's are so I can figure this out 
a bit more easily?

thanks
--Chris
